Never Lost

I pondered the direction of my life, and I turned to follow your statutes. (Psalm 119:59 NLT)

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. (Psalm 119:105)

I had an opportunity to use one of those new-fangled GPS personal navigation devices recently. They are for use in your car, when traveling. You input a destination and it directs you there using a map on its display screen, as well as spoken instructions. "Turn left... take the exit right, then take the motorway... right turn ahead... you have reached your destination." It's really fascinating technology that you should try the next time you travel.

I noticed one particularly wonderful aspect to the technology, though - you simply cannot get lost! If you deviate in any way from the instructions it is providing, it will recalculate the path to your destination. It will get you there, no matter how many wrong turns you take. You can just drive, and trust the GPS to help you make it home.

You have a GPS, you know, for the Christian life. It's called the Bible. Just like the modern tool, it will get you home, no matter how many wrong turns you might take along the way. It will never fail you, never lead you down a wrong path, and always always always point the way toward home.
